ACG Packaging Materials has released RecycloPod PP Ultra, a polypropylene-based blister packaging system that offers recyclability and barrier protection
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) has applied since 12 August 2026 and it has changed what it takes to bring a packaged product to the EU market. Packaging placed on the market now needs a Declaration of Conformity and complete technical documentation. Food-contact packaging must meet new PFAS limits, and recyclability has become a design requirement. More obligations follow in stages, from harmonized labelling in 2028 to recycled content and reuse targets in 2030.
For brands and manufacturers, PPWR is no longer only a sustainability topic. It is an operational one. Packaging decisions made early in development now determine whether a product can or cannot be launched and compliance depends on data that is often scattered across R&D, packaging, regulatory, procurement and suppliers. Many teams still manage packaging specifications in spreadsheets and email, which makes it hard to prove conformity across hundreds of SKUs and markets.
In this live webinar, we explore the operational impacts of PPWR and how it shapes packaging decisions across the product lifecycle.
You will learn:
Which PPWR obligations apply today and which milestones are coming next
How PPWR changes packaging design, material choices and supplier collaboration
Why packaging data, specifications and documentation need to be connected to product development
How to build an audit-ready trail for conformity, from material composition to final pack
How a connected PLM platform turns compliance from an end-of-process check into part of everyday development
PPWR is not just introducing new packaging requirements. It is raising the importance of accurate, traceable and accessible data to demonstrate compliance across the packaging value chain.
Join our webinar with Intralox to explore how a collaborative, system-level approach to line-layout planning can address the challenges of end-of-line operations.
Discover how manufacturers are balancing lightweighting and recyclability with structural integrity, quality and cost, alongside the impact of changing regulation and customer requirements.
